Frequently Asked Questions

What flooring is best for a home gym?

For lifting, 3/4" rubber horse stall mats are the durable, affordable standard. Foam puzzle tiles are fine for stretching and bodyweight zones but dent under heavy equipment.

Will gym flooring protect my floor from dropped weights?

3/4" rubber matting absorbs most barbell drops and protects the subfloor and your plates. Thin foam will not — use dense rubber under any platform where you drop loaded bars.
